THEO ENDEAN, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.

PHOTOGRAPHERS RETURN-ENVELOP- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Maren 6, 1906.

Application filed September 24, 1903. Renewed August '7, 1905. Serial No. 273,198.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THEO ENDEAN, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Photographers Return-Envelops, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to reversible returnenvelops designed specially for photograpliers use and it consists in the new and peculiar construction and adaptation of said envelop for said use, substantially as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the envelop opened out, showing its form and adaptation for folding for an inclosure and the manner of exposing the inscriptions for either the going or returning of the envelop. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the envelop folded with the lines for the going inscription outside. Fig. 3 is a reverse side of the same, showing the method of securing the flap.

A represents the body of the envelop, having a side leaf B on one side and provided with the tucking-slits b b and on the opposite side the tucking-flap C, having the side tongues c c.

D is a leaf on the upper end of the body A, having a short flap d on its free end. On this leaf is printed the return-address of the photographer. On the back of the body A is the blank space for the address of the receiver and the card of the photographer on the lefthand upper corner and the place for the postage-stamp on the right-hand upper corner.

E represents a photo-proof attached to the body A by means of a paper-fastener F.

To fold this envelop, first turn down the leaf B to cover the proof, with the flap (Z turned under the lower end of the proof. Next fold over this the leaf D. Thenfold over the flap C and tuck the tongues c 0 into the slits b b.

For the return the leaf D is turned over backward over the back of body A to cover the address thereon and expose the returnaddress of the photographer. In this-case the leaf B is turned over the proof and the flap C turned over leaf B and the tongues c c tucked into the slits b b, as in the first instance, the flap d havin been turned inward to cover the lower end 0 the proof.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described return-envelop, consisting of body member having a folding leaf, provided with tucking-slits, on one side, and a folding leaf provided with tucking-ears, on its opposite side; a folding leaf on one end of said body member having a narrow folding flap on its free end, for the attachment of a proof-print, and adapted to be folded over onto either side of the body member and concealing the proof, said envelop having the sending and return addresses covered or exposed, by the folding of said leaves, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

Signed by me at Cleveland, Ohio, this 22d day of September, 1903.

THEO EN DEAN.
